     Translation of Chie’s post: Someone said this was the bamboo forest in Saga Arashiyama. It is near where Daiei (Kyoto Film Studios) was.

     This definitely looks like Sagano near my grandparents’ grave at the back of Arashiyama in Kyoto. My mother (b. 1941) used to swim in the river near here and used to take a tram to go to Uzumasa studio where she sometimes acted as an extra for filming. So it’s only a short tram ride from Uzumasa where the filming studio was.

       ２０２１年３月２１日ミカさんの投函の翻訳です：

       確かに、祖父母の墓がある、京都の嵐山の裏手にある嵯峨野に似ています。私の母（1941年生まれ）は、この近くの川で泳いだり、撮影のエキストラをすることもあった太秦の撮影所に行くのに路面電車を使っていました。ですから、撮影所のあった太秦からは、路面電車ですぐの場所です。
